Not so sure a solution shown by the NAVGEM, just not as extreme, should be totally disregarded at this point. That is not necessarily good for us as it could be weaker and south but the Nam and Icon have been toying around with the early transfer idea for a couple days now. If we had true arctic air in place, not just lingering near the US border, this thing would probably be bouncing down to Florida at this point and we would be praying for a phase instead of against it.
Edit-The idea here is little to no phase just a juicy area of qpf traversing the mid and south US. Highly unlikely at this close of a range but no phase is no phase...
